I swear all of my food experiences in Austin just keep getting worse and worse. I arrived for my reservation on time, but we had to wait 20 minutes because they unexpectedly had a table of 18 show up. The kitchen was backed up, so the hostess came and apologized at some point. You would think they would offer a free round of drinks or some thing, considering how long we waited but no. Not a big deal, but when our food did come out, I had a feeling my shrimp was a little undercooked, but I was like there's no way that this could possibly be that bad .After we got our check, we went out and my stomach started feeling this incredible pain. It took a couple hours before the pain became unbearable and then, of course, as expected food poisoning... I'll spare you the projectile vomiting details. I've only gotten one other time in my life from undercooked seafood in Mexico... this somehow feels so much worse. Don't waste your time coming here. Maybe it's my sense of bias, but I feel like every restaurant in Austin just has five actual full options on their menu and between my friend returning the chicken because it was dry and my food poisoning I don't really understand what they're possibly good at making. read more

AMAZING. We had a $200 bill and it was well spent. Seriously, the service was incredible. We sat at the bar since reservations were full until 9pm for Valentine's Day weekend, and our bartender/server was 10/10 so good!!!! Really nice guy, I described my fave type of wine and he hooked us up!!! & who looked to be a manager was also very helpful, we were asking for different types of whiskey and he was just catering to every need - thank you!!! The service was paired with incredible food, we got the blue crab and artichoke as an app and the Wagyu Coulotte. Did not know sirloin could be cooked so well; it falls apart, veggies, seasoning, sauce....everything - truly have no words!!! It is pricy, but worth it for a nice date! read more

Stunning....simply stunning. I've been following this restaurant on Instagram for awhile and finally was able to stop in for dinner. It's nestled inside The Otis Hotel and I most definitely plan to be back to stay in there. The restaurant feels very open and inviting. The decor is such a modern vintage retro feel and I felt transported. My plus one had the halibut and I had the filet and we shared the elote street corn. His halibut was well cooked and had nice flavor. The elote street corn was such an explosion of delicious flavor and came highly recommended by our waiter David. The filet though , the filet was hands down the star of the table and the very first bite to sadly the last was an experience for my taste buds. Seasoned so incredibly well, perfectly cooked at medium as requested and the smoothest cut. Each bite was savory, lingering and honestly the best filet I've had in a long time. My plus one had a few bites and we both agreed the filet was perfection. We met the manager Brad and he was so nice and welcoming. He really goes above and beyond for the patrons for the hotel and restaurant. I look forward to actually staying in the hotel at some point. read more

Acre 41 - Water - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Austin, Texas

Picked the spot based on the reviews. I typically don't select hotel restaurants. But it had strong reviews so I thought I would give it a try. The starters were all very good. The first drink was made incorrectly but the got it right after that. Both mains were completely over cooked. Staff was very nice and attentive. I understand that we are returning to normal but when you ask for a burger medium rare and it's well done, same with the pork. I said please don't overcook them pork chop, it was also well done. Beautiful place, very friendly staff nice drinks but both mains were over cooked. I don't send food back it's not my way. So many great places to eat in Austin. I don't need to go back. read more

We went to Acre 41 for a date night out, and we are so happy with our decision! For starters, the restaurant is absolutely beautiful, but it is a little noisy with the open kitchen, and connecting hotel lobby, so it's not the choice for a quiet, intimate dinner, if that's what you're looking for. The service was impeccable, and everyone was so attentive! We ordered the belly on pork chop, and the cilantro halibut for dinner, with sides of pommes puree and the roasted asparagus. It was all just heavenly!!! I actually wish now that we would have ordered an appetizer, because the food was just THAT good, and so amazingly fresh!!! The pork chop was the size of the plate, it was just massive, and so juicy, and tender. The sides were actually a great portion, and perfect for the two of us two share between us! Everything was seasoned to perfect, and cooked just right, and served absolutely beautifully, yet simply. We had four drinks, two from the menu, one bourbon and one seasonal, and each was just delicious, and quite strong! I would absolutely come back again, and consider looking at the wine menu more in depth. They also have a great HH with some of the stars of the menu listed, which we will definitely be returning for. Five stars all around, from start to finish! read more

Acre 41 - Bone in Belly-On Pork Chop* - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Austin, Texas

My wife and I came here for first time. It was fantastic. I had the Burrata as a starter. Also had 2 old fashions. They have a very extensive old fashion menu. Great way to start the evening. For mains I had the strip and my wife had the pork chop. The strip was probably one of best I have ever had. The mash potatoes and green beans were the sides and they were exceptional. My wife loved the pork chop. She did share and I thought it was well executed. Our server Trent topped off the evening with exceptional service. He provided us with great recommendations and was very attentive. Thank you Trent! We will be back soon. read more

Came here for my birthday yesterday and OMG... I was very pleasantly surprised on the quality of food. First off, the ambiance is amazing. The dim lighting and the spacing between tables made me really happy because it made the experience very romantic and a little private. I went later in the day with a reservation and I did not have any issues with loudness or overbearing music. Our waiter, Andrew was very helpful in going through the menu with us and gave us some great suggestions. I ended up getting the steak with mashed potatoes, steamed veggies and an extra side of fried brussel sprouts. The food was so delicious!!! The steak was medium well and seasoned to perfection, the mashed potatoes were very buttery and the steamed broccoli was nicely cooked. But the brussel sprouts were my favorite. They were fried and seasoned with a sweet and spicy sauce... WOW. I loved it. I also got to try their shoestring fries which were nice and crispy, as well as their truffle pasta. The truffle pasta was also an excellent choice. The truffle paired perfect with the cheese and it was not too powerful, perfectly balanced flavors. Our appetizer was the bruschetta with honey and the restaurant gave us extra bread since we were a large party. Also, very delicious and perfectly flavored. For drinks, I had the Texas mule, the house margarita and a cup of Rose. Drinks are strong, so make sure you plan accordingly. Only thing I wish the Texas mule (which is tamarind flavored) was more tamarind flavored. Free valet parking with the hotel for two hours. I will be coming back here again! read more

Food: 3/5 Just average food, nothing special for what they're charging. The crab and artichoke dip was bland and there wasn't even a hint of crab nor artichoke. I like my hot food hot, and cold food cold. The dip was room temperature, which isn't ideal for a seafood/dairy plate. The corn bread was moist, but lacked that sweet corn, buttery flavor that I like. Chorizo oysters were underwhelming and again, it was room temp which was off putting. The steaks were cooked correctly according the doneness we requested. They were tender, but it just seemed to lack something, like butter and a little salt. It wasn't dry, but it was if that makes sense. The jalapeño Mac and Cheese was decent, nothing special. I think the thing we enjoyed most was the fig Moscow mule lol. Lastly, the brownie was also average, and there was nothing unique about the Mexican vanilla ice cream. Service: 5/5 The service was excellent, our waiter was super nice and helpful. I'm terrible with names, it might have been Cody or Corey. Ambiance: 5/5 Very upscale; good for any special occasion. I'd only return for drinks, the service and ambiance. read more

Extremely below average service for a $$$$$ restaurant. My photo shows how empty the place was only to be left waiting wondering when the waitress was coming several times in the night. Maybe it's because the restaurant is in a hotel? I can't imagine spending so much money for barely decent service. The food was great. Attention/service below average. So if you're into that this place is for you. read more

I'm new to Austin....so I'm constantly looking at reviews to select places to try. Acre 41 was highly rated so I gave it a try! It was great! Casual but slightly sophisticated. Then the icing on the cake was Mark our waiter. He was very confident with the memory and made some great recommendations. He was also a wealth of knowledge about Austin to boot. One tip I would share....call and inquire about the best parking options. We parked in a pay garage but there were apparently some options that were free with validation from the restaurant! read more

Stayed at the AC hotel and was given some vouchers for complimentary drinks for Acre 41. Though our dinner plans was somewhere else we decide to swing by the place since we had 2.5 hrs left til our dinner reservations. From front staff ( Glen ) to wait-staff ( Isabel ) one of the best customer service my friends and I received. Extremely attentive, with such fun positive attitude that shows they appreciate having you as a guest. It was my friend's birthday and they offered us complimentary dessert and Moët champagne. Food : we did happy hour and all items on the menu was delish. Please try the honey truffle burrata ...WOW ! Drinks: tasty and strong. Drink presentation is IG post worthy Came because of the complimentary drink vouchers but ended up staying for the food, more drinks and especially the great service ! Please pay a visit if you are in Austin ! A future return guest for sure ! read more

Really nice decor and atmosphere - located inside the lobby of The Otis Hotel. Went for a group dinner recently, and it was OK... For starters we got the Beef Tataki, Tuna Wonton Tacos and Blue Crab & Artichoke Dip - all were delicious, flavorful and great portion size for a group of 6 to share. When it came to order the entrees, our server was very confident in saying that Acre41 was a "true steakhouse" and we could not go wrong with any of the meat options. So my friend and I ordered the Pork Chop and Ribeye to share. I ordered the Ribeye medium-rare, since I was worried about the kitchen overcooking the steak... and unfortunately the did. The first steak we received was pretty much well done and completely dry. Our server was super apologetic, and rectified things as quickly as possible. The second ribeye we received was cooked perfectly med-rare, but was so bland - I don't think they even salted the meat before they cooked it. At that point we were starving, so we ate the steak as it was. The porkchop was also super dry. No sauces or anything to accompany your steaks either. Thankfully we got a side of the Creamed Spinach (which was phenomenal, and a huge portion for the table to be able to share), that we were dipping every bite of pork chop and steak with it. The Pommes Purée and Broccolini sides that came with each were both good too. I will say, if you come to Acre41, you're better off NOT ordering any of their 'steakhouse' meat entrees. And I mean it. Everyone else at our table who didn't get a steak or meat, was raving about their entree - the Gulf Shrimp & Grits was a huge hit, as was the Cilantro Seared Halibut and Iceberg Wedge Salad. Service was a little slow, but overall our server was great and very hospitable. read more

Acre 41 is inside a Hotel. Food was ok. No Chef. Drinks were ok. Not the best of service. Place was clean. Valet left, and we were stuck. Had to talk to several people to get to one of the Managers. It was then we could get my vehicle. The bar area is very nice, the private dining area is nice looking. The distribution of the place is an open concept so you dont have a lot of privacy if you sit in the middle of the room. read more

Spent 200 bucks here last night. First round of drinks was well done, we jokingly challenged the waiter on whether a good mojito would come. Round one was great. Second round was half ass, no muddling, just syrups. Steak was fine, wife ordered well done New York. About 3/4 inch of pink in the middle after the waiter asked us to check. Sent back. Waiter says "it was almost there". No dude it wasn't. The comment combined with the grudge burning of the strip thereafter makes this a never again for my household... even if it was free. I had the ribeye. It was ok. Certainly not great for the price point. If you're going to be a classy joint, be classy. Don't act like your restaurant with a view of Chick-fil-A is better than serving me like I'm lucky to be there. Just have drinks on the roof, at least it's a pool bar and knows who it is. read more

Not really sure how this restaurant had such great reviews. We went for breakfast on a Sunday morning to finish out our trip to Austin. It's a nice restaurant in a good location in what seems to be a nice hotel. The service was awful. I've never encountered such unfriendly wait staff. Never asked if my significant other wanted a drink, forgot to bring me cream, didn't check on us, was eating when she was waiting on us, and was just unpleasant. The food was mediocre, which is always astonishing when you're ordering breakfast. And it was cold. Maybe we caught it on an off day, but it wasn't worth the trip. read more

Well, time to say something positive. Can't be a Karen all the time. So many negative experiences during Covid. This place was great. Nice people treated us well from in the door to put. Waitress wonderful, manager came by and actually seemed to really care. It's a beautiful almost new place. Food was good. Tuna tacos a bit of a disappointment. Not much in three fried little shells. But the tuna salad made up for it ! Fantastic. Tons of tuna. Pork chop was perfect. Nice rooftop pool in the hotel. read more

Acre 41 - Restaurant and bar in hotel. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Austin, Texas

Just had dinner at Acre 41 tonight. Last minute dinner after just arriving in Austin for our anniversary. Great place! Not many people due to Covid, plus a Thursday night. We had the Merlot and Acre 41 Old Fashion. The Old Fashion was excellent. For starters we had the spinach & blue crab dip and the Iron Skillet Cornbread! The cornbread with the honey butter was tasty...lukewarm, but tasty. For dinner we shared the 36 ounce Tomahawk steak. It was a special for the evening and considered premium meat. Everything was great, but the Tomahawk Premium, not Heritage ( I think), was over priced at $180. It was a good 36 0z steak, don't get me wrong. The char on the meat was incredibly flavorful. Just felt it was a bit pricey. I will definitely eat there again while here for the next 5 days for our anniversary. Mainly because the ambiance, taste dishes, and our server was excellent. I highly recommend for the great food, drinks and service. I give them a 4 because of the lukewarm cornbread and price of the steak. I would give them a 4.5, but the app does not seem to allow that. Just my opinion. Hope it helps. read more

I went here for dinner with my dad and it was really nice! Classy and modern atmosphere with no need to dress up (it's Austin!) . It's located close to campus in The Otis Hotel. I got the reservations last-minute and we got a table no problem. Our server was lovely! However, a review isn't fair without a touch of constructive criticism. The only issue with the food I found was in the shrimp and grits dish. There was only a tiny portion of grits and the dish was more like a stew with peppers. The breadstick wasn't very soft and was hard to bite into. The crab & artichoke dip was a perfect starter, while the pommes de pureé were to die for. The pretzel & peanut dessert cake was delicious- and I'm not even a dessert person. ABSOLUTELY worth it. Overall, a great restaurant to try in Austin! read more

We spent our New Year's Eve here since we were on a road trip and ended up stopping in Austin, Texas. This restaurant was a pleasant surprise. Inside the AC Hotel, the ambiance was very nice and they even had a photo booth for visitors on Nye. The truffled spaghetti was delicious and a big portion too! The prime rib was amazing! They definitely have good meat in Texas! And the side mashed potatoes were amazing. The artichoke dip was very good too. We also loved the brownie dessert! Mouth watering and topped off Nye nicely. Our server was very nice too. We loved the entire experience. read more

This place is best to break down by category versus a singular overall rating. Also, I only focus on my specific experiences over 3 evenings. Wine selection: Pretty average. Whiskies: Tons of options. Good choices as well. Food: Raw food items (oysters, salads) are decent but what I would expect, nothing more. Cooked items: Fine. Nothing bad, but nothing impressive either. Staff: Great. Very friendly. They really try to connect with people. Atmosphere: Beautiful space. Overall: An OK, option for a hotel restaurant. In a pinch it's decent. But if you're personally looking for a more elevated experience, or wanting to really impress someone, I would suggest looking outside the building. read more

Drinks were great, service was fantastic and I loved the food. Shout out to Bella for the amazing service!

This place only gets stars because of those shoestring fries -- the best thing we ate all dinner, skinny, salted, and crispy (though not worth $9)! 1 of the steaks ordered came rare instead of medium, we asked for it to be cooked for another minute and waited about 5-7 minutes for it to get back to the table well done. Was funny that our server walked by to check and said "yep! looks like medium!" Speaking of servers, ours was never around (except when we had to pay and she walked by 5 times to see if we put our card down) even when the restaurant was pretty empty. She sounded like she knew everything in every dish until I asked for the Truffled Spaghetti without the truffle shavings and she claimed it was just truffle oil -- I ordered as is and when it came *surprise surprise* it had huge shavings of truffle and when I tried a bite I couldn't bring myself the eat it. The truffle was all you could smell and taste (in an overpowering way) which was a shame because the pasta was cooked perfectly and looked/felt homemade. I ended up asking for the kids pasta and it was much better. Overall: steak not worth the prices, servers need to be trained more thoroughly, and the cooks need to learn how to cook meat if they're going to sell the restaurant as a steakhouse. read more

Great ambience, and decent service (not stellar with the attention, but super polite and friendly). Stellar cocktails. The best thing about the experience this evening is that there was dance music playing, but it was at a /low/ volume, so the entire party had a great conversation. The ambience and service deserve 4/5 stars. But let us talk about the overpriced food: Beet salad, two pieces of (seemed like canned and pickled) beet and a mound of arugula and an ounce of goat cheese; 14 bucks. No. New York Strip ordered medium rare, served well done; full of gristle, tough, fat slabs intact, chewy, and $60. No no no. The food is akin to Longhorn Steaks at five times the price. First and last visit. Friend who had the halibut said it was cooked well, but arrived too cold. For a Thursday night with such a premium price, this is a "no" forever for me (unless it's just for drinks; good bourbon selection). read more

Treated myself to a solo lunch here and the southwest chicken salad was absolutely perfect. I wanted to get the cornbread but my waistline told me no! Will definitely get if I can bring my guy to eat most of it for me. The service (Blue? I think was their name) was sincere, prompt, and they left me alone so I could get some computer work done. Very happy to have such a great spot so close to campus. read more
